JOE D.AXIELS, JR. FOR ST.VTE COMMANDER OF LEGION Josephus Daniels, Jr., business man ager of the News and Observer, Ral eigh, who is being promoted by Ral eigh Post No, 1 as candidate for State commander of the North Car oline Department of the American Legion so far as is known, has no opposition for that important posi tion. In recent weeks Mr. Daniels has visited several posts over the state and made talks at their meetings. He was present at the Post Officers’ Con ference a few weeks ago. So far no announcement has been made of an opponent and it is believed that he will be elected without opposition, an unusual condition. The election will be held at the annual meeting in Fayetteville the latter part of the summer. The 1935 season of the Southern Pines Bird Club was brought to a close at the meeting Tuesday morn ing. with regrets from Its 30-odd members as well as many guests. Every one of the 15 meetings has been filled to the brim with most in teresting bird lore. The hunts in Mil. len Sanctuary, to catch a glimpse of or here sing some little bird, rest ing no doubt in Its many thousand miles of migration, were living joys. The discussions which followed these hunts brought forth nation-wide arti cles on birds; talks, by noted orni thologists, writers, and members of other bird clubs; general discussions by its own members of other bird clubs; general discussions by its own members on bird life of every discrip, tion; all these proved interesting and gave the club a better knowledge of feathered friends. Away back in 1926 when the South- ei’n Pines Bird Club was organized, its one object was, “to encourage the growth and prevent the destruction of wild birds in affiliation with the Au dubon Society: to learn the birds and to foster their presence in our com munity.” During the nine years of growth this Bird Club has carried out the object of that pioneer group, in spirit as well as letter. It is now recognizeJ as one of the most active clubs in the state, an organization the Sand hills may well be proud of. It has grown dear to many bird lover.s mi grating South in the winter an-1 North in the spring, who like the birds, evidently think Southern Pines a pretty nice place and make it a point to rest awhile and enjoy the welcome and hospitality.
